Astros (80-72) at Pirates (64-89)7:05–PNC Park, PittsburghRandy Wolf (10-12, 4.58) vs. Ian Snell (6-11, 5.69)[Preview]———–Remember when the Astros had swept us and were back into the playoff conversation?Well, since then, Ike hit Houston, two games against the Cubs that were supposed to be in Houston were moved to Milwaukee (the closest place for Cubs fans outside of the home of the White Sox), the Astros dropped both of those games (1 total hit), then were swept at Florida.-So now they’re 5 games out with only 9 to go. The Pirates can finish the job. You know I’d appreciate that considering my opinion of the moves the Astros made, then how dangerously close they came to working.-The Pirates can actually clinch a winning record at PNC Park this year if they sweep this series. I have a bad feeling the Astro bats are going to wake up for this one, though: Snell, Barthmaier, and Ohlendorf.-I’d highly reccomend going to one of these final few games. Fireworks tonight, concert tomorrow, and fan appreciation Sunday. Yeah, we’re tired of the Bucs and it’s meaningless, but trust me, the offseason is loooooooong and you should catch a game one more time to shorten that drought a little. It’s always a little better when the stadium is full (even though half aren’t there to see the game…)
